A NOTE FROM FAIR

Hello, friends —

We owe you an apology — and an update. March came and went without a newsletter, and we don’t want you to miss a thing. So consider this our catch-up edition: two months of news, one big announcement, and a lot to be excited about.

Easter weekend is just around the corner. General Conference is days away. And we have some exciting news about this summer’s annual conference that we think you’re going to love. Let’s dive in.

🌷 EASTER & GENERAL CONFERENCE — APRIL 4–5, 2026

Easter and General Conference fall on the same weekend this year — April 4 and 5 — and it’s shaping up to be one of the most meaningful conference weekends in recent memory.

What’s new this April:

• This is the 196th Annual General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

• A Solemn Assembly will be held during the Saturday morning session — the first at the Conference Center since April 2020 — as members worldwide sustain a new Church President.

• Four sessions total (no Saturday evening session) — Saturday and Sunday, 10 a.m.–noon and 2–4 p.m. MDT each day.

• All are welcome — stream live in 80+ languages from anywhere in the world.

The First Presidency has also encouraged members and friends of the faith to join a one-hour special Easter sacrament meeting on Palm Sunday, March 29, to begin Holy Week together.

This year’s FAIR Conference is going back to basics — and that’s exactly what the moment calls for.

THIS CONFERENCE IS FOR YOU IF…

• You’ve ever said, “I don’t know how to answer that.”
• You have a loved one struggling with questions about the Church.
• You want to better understand common criticisms of Latter-day Saint doctrine and history.
• You value both faith and scholarship — and don’t feel like you have to choose between them.
• You want to feel more confident, more grounded, and more at peace in your faith.
• You’re a historian, scholar, or student looking for rigorous, faithful responses.

Whether you’re a lifelong member fielding hard questions, a new member trying to find your footing, a parent trying to help a struggling child, or a historian and scholar who wants to sharpen your thinking — Apologetics 101: Back to Basics is built for you.

You’re not the only one asking these questions. Join us — and let’s talk about them together.

“FAIR is really the only site I use for clarification to ‘anti-Mormon’ ideas. The last nine years I have attended, this conference has been the highlight of my year!”
